Does your solution involve holding onto the darned bike?

Vancouver has allowed bikes on our rapid-transit system (Skytrain) for
about a year now, and I have used it several times. The obvious solution
to this non-problem is to carry a couple of small straps or ties, and
tie the front wheel to the downtube and the bike to a hand-hold pole.
